The method feeder is an effective way to catch carp and other big fish, and it asks for different qualities in a rod than traditional feeder fishing. In this group you will find method feeder rods as well as commercial carp and pellet feeder rods. They are especially suited to commercial fisheries and other waters with a good head of carp.


In method feeder fishing, groundbait or pellets are moulded around the feeder and the hookbait is pressed into the feed, so fish find it as they eat. Carp often take the bait hard, so the rod needs more power than an ordinary feeder rod and a forgiving action that cushions the fish's lunges.
Method feeder rods are built for exactly this: they cast a loaded feeder accurately and play even a big fish under control on a fine hooklength.
Commercial carp and pellet feeder rods suit commercial fisheries with a good stock of carp and other big fish. With a pellet feeder, pellets go out in a small feeder, and a soft tip shows the bite just as in standard feeder fishing.
Choose a rod to match your casting distance and feeder weight. A shorter rod is accurate at close range, while a longer one helps you reach more distant spots.
